If There Is A Nuclear War Between The U.S. And Russia, Most Americans Will Die By Starving To Death
The Economic Collapse Blog ^ | Michael

Can you imagine what it would be like to literally starve to death? Most Americans believe that if a nuclear war with Russia actually happens the vast majority of the U.S. population will be instantly wiped out. But that is not what the science says. What the studies have shown is that only about 20 percent of the U.S. population will be instantly killed during a nuclear exchange. If you live near a military base or some other highly strategic target you will probably be among that 20 percent. Otherwise, it is likely that you will starve to death during the horrifying “nuclear winter” that follows.

A brand new study that was just released has concluded that average global temperatures would immediately drop by a whopping 13 degrees following a full-blown nuclear exchange…

Firestorms would release ash and smoke into the upper atmosphere that would block out the Sun, resulting in crop failure around the world, according to researchers from Louisiana State University. In the first month following these catastrophic detonations, average global temperatures would plunge by about 13 degrees Fahrenheit, more than during the most recent Ice Age.

With much less sunlight reaching the Earth, the food chains in our oceans would collapse very rapidly…

The sudden drop in light and sea temperatures, especially from the Arctic to the North Atlantic and North Pacific, would kill algae — the bedrock of the marine food web.

Researchers said that fishing and aquaculture would be halted by the creation of ‘essentially a famine in the ocean.’ And as average temperatures plummeted, very little would be able to be grown for an extended period of time….

How will more primitive society survive a nuclear winter when plants and animals die off?

“...because the US population has become heavily urbanized and dependent on the food/supply chain...”

"It's a mystery. A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with. He can know his heart, but he dont want to. Rightly so. Best not to look in there. It aint the heart of a creature that is bound in the way that God has set for it. You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything. Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine. And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend it.”

I missed the part of having lotsa shootouts with firearms. Only Mad Max and Humongous had firearms. Everyone else had improvised weapons.

Well Jan, your masters have that all planned out for over 50 years:

The strike will feature staggered vertical and horizontal overlapping hits continent-wide with each staggered further by ground and air bursts.

This will create a continent-wide fire storm, burning off all or most vegetation and incinerating a sizable portion of the population.

The handful remaining will die horribly of radiation poisoning, if not from 2nd and 3rd degree infected burns.

Very doubtful if any one will get the chance to die from starvation.

Trump wanted to build fallout shelters. Sweden has enough for their population, Russia is building as we speak.

But “81 million voters” didn’t want Trump.

No one survives a continent-wide fire storm - those that are not incinerated will die as all the oxygen is consumed in the days to weeks-long fire storm.

Yep.

The 3s. 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 30 days without food. Dead.

>>Mad Max

And the best individual mode of transportation is the Kawasaki KZ1000.

Though did not say where that got tires with all that rubber they burned off.

Mad Max only had a few old 12 gauge shells. I don’t recall seeing firearms except Max’s shotgun. Maybe I saw a different flick.

It will be when not if. The Neo Cons, Globalists , and Biden worshipers are working 24/7/ 365 promoting it. And step by step. Inch by inch. Day by day they are succeeding.

Well, that's GREAT NEWS for ending the impending ClimateCatastrophicDoom™
A 13-degree cooling will wipe out hundreds of years of "man-made warming" just as the climate religious zealots demand.

“They’ll die of thirst / dehydration before that.”

More than likely, depending on where they are.

When I lived in Tidewater Virginia we used to say we would never know if a nuclear attack occurred because we would become a glowing plasma instantly.
